I get to interview one of the people I truly admire today. Allan Booker is an amazing man, food freedom advocate and a general all around awesome guy. He joins us today to discuss food freedom and the value of “genetic capital” and why and how we need to be developing our own seed and livestock genetics and how to protect them from the giant conglomerates. Alan Booker is the founder and executive director of the Institute of Integrated Regenerative Design, training professionals to create ecosystemic and regenerative systems.

333 loving the #permaculture lessons. obtaining a yield and stacking functions go hand in hand. I'm using plants that the #deer, #rabbits, #turkey and/or i can eat, to control erosion on a #pond wall. flowering #plants may not produce food, but they look nice, feed the #pollinators and play their part in the #diversity. permanerd mentioned creating edges on ponds... take a look at Chinampas, interesting stuff.
I'd like to hear more about oshi's dandelion tea...

333 I had 2 bitaxes from 2 different "manufacturers." fried them both. even tho I didn't overclock. I haven't replaced them. thinking #ln node is next for me. collating data. ;)
axeOS is open source and can be downloaded so diy'ers can build the hardware and configure.

333 I use cardboard under #mulch where I want to smother unwanted plants. dry cardboard under mulch acts like a roof and sheds water. with wet cardboard, best to get it good and soaked and keep moist. better yet, shred it before soaking.

333 I played with the different flavors of #linux early on and ran them on thumbdrives so I could just pop in whatever I wanted to play with and boot from there. storage is always mirrored on a couple of matching drives. I struggle with paid off site storage & privacy issues.

1k we're going through some issues with Lowes. we're doing a house remodel from studs out and the local Lowes doesn't have access to items other stores have online. I can see items are available but just not at my local store and no delivery to our zip code. and getting things shipped from store to store has been interesting too. we did try to shop the little mom & pops, but they're disappearing.
oh, and I haven't voted in a while, but will go to the polls and write in "Brian... " wait , alexawhatsitagain? hold on!! do you have a birth certificate? ;)

1k the one thing I'd like to see more of regarding the 2nd #permaculture principle is examining one's own #waste stream to slow export of outputs and reduce inputs. not just "recycle", "reuse" but concentrate on "reduce" of inputs and outputs. management of our own waste stream is on each of us.
take care of your own shit & it'll take care of you.

1k another great episode, guys. keep on, keepin' on.
#permaculture shows us abundance occurs on the edges where systems meet. i think bitcoin is an excellent example of the convergence of energy, money & technology systems.

1k what a great episode. I've been studying #permaculture since jack spirko introduced me to it 15 yrs ago. observation is a big part of permaculture. look at what grows near you, if there's an equivalent you like, grow that. diversity is key.
Also, spirko introduced me to dr. ken berry and keto/carnivore/proper human diet. I am one of the "80+ pounds success stories." yes, thats right! I lost 80 lbs eating beef, butter, bacon & eggs. blood work improved. it is the way.

1k most bitcoin shows are boring. this show is fun because of the variety. some bitcoin. some marketing. some day in the life. some nostr. some permaculture. so far good stuff.
knots vs. core was interesting to watch on nostr. the hatred over this was palpable. I always add a message in my transactions memos, but some want serious storage. they want to exploit the bloat. either you want to exploit the bloat or you dont. probably oversimplified, but it is that simple. hope this response doesn't generate hate.
anyway... #smij #zapd #grownostr

1k introducing #permaculture to #normies should be enlightening for many as much as introducing them to nostr.
permaculture, like #nostr finds #abundance on the #edge.
